I and my friends, looked for a place where we can do our news casting project. Then, we saw this place named "Alchemy" where you can rent a room for meetings or to study. 


We rented the conference room that is good for 4-6 people. It costs 600 pesos for 2 hours. Fully air-conditioned, friendly staffs, free wi-fi and such a quiet place. This picture below is the design at the wall of the conference room :)


They even have unlimited coffee! And take note, it is Starbucks! :) 




Alchemy also has a study hub for students who wants to study. It costs 180 pesos for 3 hours. Not bad, right? :)

 Alchemy is located at Katipunan Avenue above Yellow Cab :) Go try it! :)

STRAWBERRY TAHO


A cold weather and a warm food are always the perfect couple. While we were in Baguio last December, I and my friend craved for taho. Okay, first up. FAST FACT: What is taho? Taho is a very popular street food here in the Philippines. Sold mostly at the morning. Just perfect for a good breakfast. It is made out of fresh silken tofu, caramelized brown sugar also known as arnibal and of course, sago pearls. Going back, when I and my friend, went to Burnham Park, we saw a taho vendor and immediately bought one, but to our surprise, it was not the taho that we expected it to be. It has strawberry syrup, but it is just artificial. We want the natural one!! And so we went to Strawberry farm and there we found the natural strawberry taho that we have been craving for! TADAN!


And they are the "magtatahos". Kuya on the right side is showing the real strawberry that they have. They are so happy that we bought their taho :)


QUICK TIP: If you want to taste the natural strawberry taho in Baguio, don't get fooled by a vendor on the streets! Let them show you the real strawberries they have before you buy!

ILOCOS ICE CREAM

While on a tour at Ilocos, I saw a man selling ice cream. I thought it was just some kind of "dirty ice cream" that we also have in Manila. Since I am sweaty and all, I decided to buy one. The man smiled at me and told me, "masarap po ito, maam." I replied by saying, "sige, kuya. Pabili pong isa." Then he opened the storage. It was a color green ice cream inside!! I thought to myself, "could this be pandan flavor?" Then, he started to scoop then ice cream. When he is all done, he gave me my ice cream. I asked him, "kuya, ano pong flavor nito?" Then he said, "Avocado po." I was surprised! Then he added, "natural po iyan, maam." That made me more surprised! NATURAL?! AVOCADO?! I SHOULD REALLY TASTE THIS!! Then I started to indulge to my ice cream and to my surprise, it was very very very yummy! It is really natural because I can still taste the bitter-ish side of the avocado. I was amazed! I wanted to buy one gallon of it and bring it home, but no. :( Since then, this ice cream has been my favorite. 


If you happen to visit Ilocos, don't miss this ice cream!! :) vendors are just out on the street so make sure to look-out for them! This ice cream costs 20 pesos. :)
